checking for a file

Is it possible to check for existence of a file from a web page using
javascript? I am trying to come up with a routine that i can call from the
rest of my javascript code that will check if a particular file exists on
disk at the server. ie bool FileExists("http://myServer.com/File.gif";);
Any ideas on how to do this?
Thanks
Eric
